Through the design and simulation of the new screw, the axial pressure curve of the screw is ensured to meet the requirements of gas injection and gas pressure holding. It effectively reduces the gas influx at the beginning of the gas injection and prevents pre-foaming of entrained gas melt before injection. The newly designed periodic gas injection system and the control system of the injection molding machine are effectively linked. During the gas injection process, the air pressure of the gas injection system and the melt pressure at the corresponding position of the barrel maintain a fixed pressure difference. High-quality microbubbles with an average cell length of 30-40 microns and a cell density of 1.6-2x (10^6/cm^3) were made with general-purpose polystyrene (GPPS) and nitrogen gas.
With a Ph.D. in Materials Science from Shanghai Jiaotong University, Dr. Ryan Li has extensive experience in evaluating the rheological performance of various materials, including coatings, printing inks, electronic adhesives, hot-melt adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, structural adhesives, asphalt, rubber elastomers, everyday chemicals, food, and pharmaceutical preparations. He has guided the development of rheological methods for many enterprises' product performance evaluation, assisting them in establishing rheological test methods and standard procedures and is one of the few specialists in rheology who can integrate theory, real-world application, and business experience.
The rheological properties of the melt play a decisive role in the molding of polymer foams, and effective molding is an important means of forming a specific performance structure. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the rheological factors in the foam molding process and their influence on the end-product properties is not only scientifically important but also has practical application value. To help related practitioners quickly understand the technical tools for polymer foaming materials, from molding to performance characterization, this seminar methodically introduces the impact of rheology on polymer foaming and the characterization of the thermal and mechanical properties of end products.

Foams Designed for Sustainability
Fabrice Lacroix
Zotefoams
Azote Global Business Manager
Fabrice started with Zotefoams as a Business Development Executive with the remit to explore potential new markets for a material designed for the aviation industry. With technical support from the business, Fabrice identified potential in the semi-conductor market, resulting in a £1.5 million international business in this sector. Zotefoams supported Fabrice’s talent for new business with training in business marketing strategy and Fabrice took on the challenge of developing a market for our first novel foamed material. Having established market potential, Fabrice set up sales channels throughout Europe and employed a direct sales person in Germany before moving on to Zotefoams core business as Business Development Manager for Europe. As AZOTE Global Business Manager, Fabrice now manages our largest value portfolio and the AZOTE Sales Team. Fabrice has been able to draw on strategies learned across different markets and geographies to grow the core business and has had the satisfaction of seeing some of the opportunities he helped to open up grow into significant business units.
